Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how computers are identified by web apps and web sites. A classic example would be signing up to play poker online. The downloaded software would probably include some unique identifier for the computer which dowloaded it. I'm talking about identifiers more complex than cookies, as these can be easily deleted. Where would I be able to find some more info about computer identification on the internet, and does anybody know of other identification methods?

I'm not sure if you're referring to some type of spyware that may have been installed when you downloaded the software, or if you're talking about your IP address.

What prompted you to ask this question? That may help to better answer it.
